Summary

Braun Strowman shot down a fan's fantasy booking idea on Instagram when he was asked about a possible feud with Oba Femi.

Strowman replied that WWE could not afford him, keeping up the same tone he has used in recent comments about a possible in-ring return. The former Universal Champion has not wrestled since leaving WWE in the summer of 2025.

Social media

A fan suggested a Strowman vs. Oba Femi program in the comments of a recent Instagram post. Strowman answered with a short response:

"They can't afford me lol"

Strowman's asking price has stayed consistent

The comment matches the stance Strowman has already taken in public. Earlier this month, Strowman said he will only return to wrestling for the right price, saying a company would need to back a truck of gold blocks to his porch.

The latest remark does not confirm talks with WWE or any plan involving Oba Femi. It does show that Strowman is still framing any comeback around the size of the offer.

What this means for Oba Femi and WWE

Oba Femi's name being thrown into the idea keeps the matchup interesting for fans, but Strowman's response makes clear that it is only fan speculation right now. Until there is an actual deal in place, there is no sign of a WWE program moving beyond social media talk.

If Strowman does return, comments like this also reinforce that money and presentation would be central to any comeback story.
